Waitress Shocked To Find 'LOL' Written On Tip Line

For most restaurant goers, the concept of ‘all’s well that ends well’ applies when dining out at a busy restaurant, but some have a very different take on things. According to the Asbury Park Press, this party of eight was in the later camp.

Jess Jones is a 20-year-old college student that works at D’Jais Bar and Grill in Belmar, NJ during the summer. It’s a popular spot, and the wait can be pretty long at times. Jess waited on a party of eight on a particularly busy night, and did her best to make sure everything went off without a hitch. When Jess went to close out their check, she realized the table had a different take.

“LOL 1 hour for food,” read the note on the party’s bill for $112.03.

Jess was particularly upset about the slap in the face, and she took to Facebook to share her story.

“I would have preferred a '$0' tip than a 'LOL' tip, but as a waitress, bad tips and harsh notes are all part of the job. Even though they did wait an hour to eat, they remained satisfied with filled drinks and proper notice that the kitchen was a bit busier than normal,” her post read in part.

The post would quickly go viral, and even caught the attention of town Mayor Matt Doherty.

“If you visit Belmar please treat the hardworking men and women in our service industry with the same respect you would expect at your job. This is ridiculous,” he wrote.
